As far as I can tell, there is little to no evidence in favor of any sort of causation there. There’s some evidence that fluoride exposure as a child reduces childhood cavities a little bit.
Here’s a review: https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD010856.pub3 https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD010856.pub3
- wkat4242 2y agoThat's about water fluoridation. Not about the direct gel treatments we get which contain very strong fluorine. Which are done on the post-childhood teeth. We get them like 4 times, every 6 months for 2 years for about 5 minutes. They're very strict about not swallowing it because it's toxic and the smell made me nauseous. As far as I've heard they really improve enamel strength a lot. My dentist used to joke it put them out of business.
